The U.E.L. Heritage Centre and Park at Adolphustown (formerly Adolphustown U.E. Loyalist Park) is 72 acres of history on the Bay of Quinte, including the original Loyalist landing site in 1784, the original tenting grounds used by the arriving Loyalists, and the original 18th Century Loyalist cemetery and burial grounds.

Operated by the Bay of Quinte Branch, June 2002 marks the 43rd anniversary of the U.E.L. Heritage Centre and Park at Adolphustown, established in 1959 by the Ontario Government as a lasting U.E.L. memorial. Opened by the BoQ Branch in June 1963, the Loyalist Cultural Centre and Museum is located on the Park grounds in the 124-year-old brick house built by David Allison. As well as a wealth of carefully preserved Loyalist artifacts, the LCC has a solid Loyalist genealogy library.

The large picnic grounds, known for their shade trees and acres of room, have been home to many, many family picnics over the past four decades and continues to welcome these and other gatherings.
